I think it was the Rivingtons that made the original. Did not hear any more songs from them that got played as often as "The Bird". They did release an album though.

NYA -- The Rivingtons did "Papa Ooh Mow Mow" a few years before The Trashmen did "Surfin' Bird." The Trashmen largely lifted the Rivingtons song and added a few barfs and gurgles.

The Bird was their big hit, but the flip side was memorable:
Little Sally Walker The Rivington's were a definite niche market group.
